OT - Interesting about the pessimism of the Austrians, do you know if it also applies to Germans? My husband's mother was from Lauf, and my husband is the most pessimistic person I know, except for his older brother, who is worse. My husband says it's because his grandmother used to threaten him with Der Strewelpeter (sp?) when he was a kid and was misbehaving. (With scissor-hands, and would cut off his thumb if he wasn't good.)
